Table tennis has a long history. It began as a parlor game played on the dining table. Since any table could be used, the dimensions of tennis tables remained unfixed until years later when a standard size was established for tournament play. There was no apparent need or reason since to change the standard size of a table tennis table. Lately, the game of tennis has evolved from a game of soft strokes to a game of flat, hard, drives with low trajectories. In addition tennis professionals on tour began playing table tennis between matches in the professional player's lounges in order to relax and to warm up before games. Hence there have been attempts to carry the same strokes over into table tennis. However regular tennis strokes are difficult if not impossible to execute on conventional tennis tables. We have now found that such low trajectory drives are possible if the tennis table is a scaled down form of a standard tennis courts. In addition, the net structure herein is a scaled down reproduction of a regulation tennis net, and the net structure is so fabricated that the ball interacts with its top portion on contact as does a tennis ball with a tennis net during tennis play.
